It all began in Autumn 2000 with Luisa Passerini’s EUI workshop Films as
Sources for Cultural history: Case Studies from 1930s to 1950s. Thanks to all those
who contributed to this forum. Thanks particularly to Luisa for having been a mine of
intellectual and creative stimuli in my academic life. Thanks to Giuseppe Lauricella for
having helped me to set up my workstation. Thanks to Peppino Finaldi who found
solutions whenever I got and get stuck.
This multimedia project is not for sale, but purely for academic reference.
Thanks to those who gave the permission for the use of visual material.
The publisher would be happy to hear from any persons or organizations who may have
rights on material used in Bengasi Revisited and whom it has not been possible to
identify or contact.
Thanks to the institutions who made this project and its publication possible:
The European University Institute’s department of History and Civilization and the
University of Western Australia’s School of Humanities.
